Wheelchair positions;The Concert Hall wheelchair positions are in a flat area and those seated there may experience sightline restrictions of varying levels. These could be due to the placement of staging props, platforms for instrumental musicians (especially for orchestral performances) and for events like contemporary music, audiences may stand and dance. We request patrons seated in front of wheelchair spaces remain seated throughout, however our ability to manage this may be limited and an unrestricted view of the stage and all performance elements cannot be guaranteed. If you experience discomfort during performances, please approach a Front of House representative to discuss your concerns.

Post-punk trailblazers, noise-pop pioneers

William and Jim Reid led The Jesus and Mary Chain to become pioneers of the post-punk notion. Like mad scientists, the two shy lads from the outskirts of Glasgow would concoct formulas of noisy, effects-driven scores to accompany lyrics of angst and discontent.

Cutting-edge in 1985, “now, thirty-something years on, as the feedback fades, the smoke clears and the years roll by, the band are as compelling as ever”.

“JAMC has aged like a fine wine and are worthy of continued adoration. Their laid back coolness has only increased, making them the stuff of legends.” (Inner Edge Music)

Their live shows are a spellbinding experience, the setlist bursting with classics including 'Just Like Honey', 'April Skies', 'Head On, Darklands', 'Happy When It Rains', 'Some Candy Talking', 'Far Gone and Out', 'Reverence' and many more.
